Cover image: Pictured is a cluster of trees growing among houses in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. S. Blair Hedges et al. analyzed time-series satellite images and found that the proportion of Haiti's primary forests declined from 4.4% of total land area in 1988 to 0.32% in 2016. During this time, Haiti lost all primary forest from 42 of its 50 highest and largest mountains. According to the authors, deforestation and habitat loss may lead to the extinction of most of Haiti's endemic species by 2035. See the article by Hedges et al. on pages 11850–11855.
